World CycloCross Championship Update
Hi everyone,
This is just a quick update to let you know how the World Cyclcross Championships went.
I rode as hard as I could, but was a little disappointed to finish 35th. The course was incredibly tough work – we basically rode on sand for 40 minutes. In the first lap I was sitting in the top 30, but as the sand got harder to ride through, the fatigue set in and my legs were dead by the end.
It was an incredible experience – we had 50,000 people watching us and at times I started feeling like a celebrity with complete strangers asking me for fan cards and my autograph! I think it has something to do with being a Kiwi in unfamiliar territory.
Thanks again to all of you for your assistance with this race, especially to DMT for your support with the my fabulous new DMT racing shoes. I am almost certain they are the reason I got off the start line so well!
From here I can have a little bit of downtime, before flying out to France in 2 weeks time for my road team presentation and then it’s straight on to the road racing come March.
We continue to support Gen and wish her well in the forthcoming road racing season.
